The gentle giant Painting

The inspiration for the painting comes from a photograph taken by me of my husband during a weekend spent at the cabin, where we celebrated a friend's birthday. After partying all night, the next morning, while everyone was still sleeping, my husband and I were sitting on the grass when we were approached by a huge, gentle, probably abandoned dog. It was a quiet moment, and so the painting conveys the feelings of calm and solitude. The work is part of a series of paintings called 'Nothing out of the Ordinary,' where I depict family moments, relaxation, everyday scenes, and family scenarios—a concept inspired by historical genre painting but which becomes an exercise in deeper, more profound introspection.
